It doesn't hurt that the other photo we have from the mid-season finale features The Gov. himself, staring straight forward, with the same look on his face. The main difference? The Governor's backup is a freaking tank.

Now, we've been worried sick about Team Prison during this little Governor-centric break, so this photo reached us at a vulnerable point. Let's over-analyze these shots together.

1. That guy between Tyreese and Daryl? Yeah, he's totally dead. The Walking Dead has been employing the ol' Redshirt strategy in full force this season, so if you're introduced to someone for the first time in a super-violent episode — and they're suddenly and inexplicably besties with the main characters — chances are that person is doomed.

On the plus side, since they're bringing in the Redshirts for this mid-season stand-off, it means we might not lose that many main characters. At least, not enough main characters to fill up a whole death-filled episode.

2. Carl looks like he's going to fight, which means that Rick gave up on keeping him inside and out of harm's way. Suddenly, we like him for killing The Governor — especially given his close relationship with Michonne, who has had a target on The Gov.'s head the whole season.

Now let's just hope that Rick doesn't lose everything he loves in this battle. The Ricktator's no fun without a little family-man contrast.

3. Where's Glenn?! All of Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun)'s besties are there — fiancee Maggie Greene and OTP Daryl Dixon — but he's missing and everyone looks pissed. Uh oh. Is it getting kind of hard to breathe in here? Because we're having some trouble.

Sasha is missing, too, and considering they were the two able-bodied adults with to fall victim to the flu and live to tell the tale, it's possible they're still recovering. It's also possible that the medicine didn't work. We would say that Tyreese looking ready to bust some skulls is a bad sign if he didn't always look like that.
